You have isolated two temperature-sensitive mutations in phage l that you suspect may be in the same gene. These phage mutants are called ts-1 and ts-2. Each mutant will form plaques at 35˚C but not at 42˚C. You cross ts^-1 to ts^-2 phage by coinfecting E. coli at the permissive temperature of 35˚C. When the resulting phage lysate is plated at 35˚C you count 10,000 plaques per ml of phage lysate, but when the same phage lysate is plated at 42˚C, there are only 80 plaques per ml.  

If the total size of the phage is 5 x 10⁴ bp and the total genetic map length of the phage is 100 m.u., about how far apart are the mutations in base pairs?

The conversion of ammonium to amino acids requires two enzymes such as GS and GOGAT,

a) High levels of light and carbohydrate—conditions that stimulate plastid GS and Fd-GOGAT

b) Conditions of ample energy inhibit GS and GOGAT

c) The stimulation of GS and GOGAT, they favor nitrogen assimilation into glutamine and glutamate, compounds that are rich in carbon and participate in the synthesis of new plant materials

d) In energy-limited conditions inhibit GS and GOGAT

Which of the following statements about GS and GOGAT is correct?
